Prophet to the Nations: Scott Hahn Reflects on the Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time
January 29, 2022 17:00 - 3 minutes - 2.74 MBJeremiah 1:4–5, 17–19 Psalm 71:1–6, 15–17 1 Corinthians 12:31–13:13 Luke 4:21–30 God’s words in today’s First Reading point us beyond Jeremiah to Jesus. Like Jeremiah, Jesus was consecrated in the womb and sent as a “prophet to the nations” (see Luke 1:31–33). Like the prophets before Him, Jesus too faces hostility. In today’s Gospel, the crowd in His hometown synagogue quickly turns on Him, apparently demanding a sign, some proof of divine origins—that He’s more than just “the son of...

In today’s readings, with their rising stars, splendorous lights, and mysteries revealed, the face of the child born on Christmas day appears. Herod, in today’s Gospel, asks the chief priests and scribes where the Messiah is to be born.
